Possibility of Light

but i did fall apart
and the break was clean
and in million pieces,
each worthy of its own constellation,
i am sure,
with clean star light and all,
but no one warned
that the slip between the cup
and the lip, costs
so much and
the crystal flute
is your heart's song,
and even then
the hammers come
crashing over time,
as though to kill
the very possibility
of light itself.
